Arthropodium cirratum 'Matapouri Bay' (Matapouri Bay Rengarenga Lily)

Arthropodium cirratum 'Matapouri Bay' (Matapouri Bay Rengarenga Lily) is a robust and attractive New Zealand native perennial valued for its lush, broad foliage and graceful flower display. This selected form features wider, arching grey-green leaves that form substantial clumps, creating excellent ground cover and textural interest. In late spring and early summer, it produces delicate, star-shaped white flowers with golden stamens on tall, branching stems that rise above the foliage. The flowers have a subtle sweet fragrance and add an airy, elegant touch to the garden.

Ideal for mass plantings, coastal gardens, and underplanting beneath trees, 'Matapouri Bay' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is highly tolerant of coastal conditions, including wind and salt spray, and is drought-resistant once established. This low-maintenance plant is particularly valued for its bold foliage, graceful flowers, and ability to provide reliable year-round structure with minimal care.
